Some may say he had little effect around the school. But Fr. Joseph Lechtenberg's spirit of love, even if his accomplishments went unrecognized, undeniably affected those who were around him. He gently changed you as his soft influence pervaded your thoughts. You began to realize that Fr. Lechtenbergis worries about the light bill and about influential students getting away with bullying janitors were not the capricious worries of an aging Jesuit - but that his thoughts had a cohesiveness, that one theme ran throughout: a concern for others. He knew the more spent on uselessly lit lights, the more the tuition and the harder it would be for the poorer students to come here. He was aware that if students weren't forced to respect each others' dignity, they could not respect their own. Most of all, Fr. Lechtenberg realized that it is in the little things that you have to show your concern. He caused us to see that indeed it is all the little things that add up to equal the whole, and if the spirit of love isn't shown in these things, then it cannot be present in the whole. If U. of D. Hi's spirit is to continue to be a loving one, Fr. Lechtenberg's spirit must continue to be manifested in the little things. Students and faculty have to be aware that a little remark, a glance, a little more effort, a little smile are the things that make the spirit of U. of D. High. Father saw this, and because of it he knew his job didn't have to seem important to all, that everyone needn't consider him vital, tht he didnlt have to strike others with the force of an earthquake. But we know that he is essential, like the wind and the sea - always present, always at work. Now, as Fr. Lechtenberg is in the hospital, the need is made evident for more men around the High who know, as he does, that they don't have to be saliently spectacular, just be there, and care.
